Good businesses don't always need a design department.
Most businesses don't need a full-time UX designer, UI designer, developer and strategist.
They need the right people when they need them.
That's where UX UI MATE comes in. We are based in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom.
We work directly with businesses to understand what they're trying to achieve, identify what isn't working, design the right solution and help bring it to life.
From a focused business website to a more complex digital product, we combine strategy, UX, UI and development without the layers of a traditional agency.
You bring the business. We bring the design expertise.
Start a Project
You don't need a design team. You need the right help.
If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place.
01
You don't have an in-house designer
You need experienced design help without hiring a full-time team.
02
Your website isn't doing its job
It looks dated, feels difficult to use or simply isn't generating the enquiries you expect.
03
Your business has outgrown its website
Your company has changed, but your digital presence still represents where you were rather than where you're going.
04
You're building something new
A new website, SaaS product, app or digital experience needs more than attractive screens. It needs a clear strategy behind it.
05
You just need something straightforward
Not every project needs months of strategy. Sometimes you need a professional website, done properly, without unnecessary complexity.
What you can expect from us
-
Research before pixels
We don't start by opening Figma. We start by understanding the problem, the users and what the business needs to achieve.
-
Direct communication
You speak directly to the people working on your project. No unnecessary layers and no account-manager telephone game.
-
One team. Full accountability.
Strategy, UX, UI and delivery stay connected. Important decisions don't get lost between different departments or suppliers.
-
Design that earns its place
Every page, interaction and feature should have a reason to exist. If something doesn't help the user or the business, we'll question it.
-
Honest advice
If we think you don't need something, we'll tell you. We'd rather solve the right problem than sell you a bigger project.
-
Built around your business
A small local business and a growing SaaS company don't need the same solution. We adapt the scope, process and technology to what actually makes sense.
Why work with us instead of a traditional agency?
Fewer layers. Clearer ownership. More of your investment in the work itself.
You speak to the person doing the work
No account manager standing between you and the people responsible for your project.
Your budget goes into the work
We're deliberately lean. Fewer layers and less overhead means more of your investment goes into strategy, design and delivery.
Your project gets direct attention
We don't want clients to feel like a number in a large agency pipeline. Your project gets focused involvement from the people responsible for making it work.
From idea to launch
We connect the thinking, design and implementation so important decisions don't get lost between different suppliers.
How we work
Six clear steps so you always know where we are and what happens next.
We learn about your business, your customers, your goals and what needs to change.
We look at the current experience, competitors, users and available evidence to understand where the real opportunities are.
We define the structure, content, user journeys and priorities before visual design begins.
We bring the approved design to life and make sure the finished product works as intended.
We launch the project and give you the access, files and guidance you need to understand and use what we've built.
You own what we build.
We don't believe your website should become something you're afraid to touch or permanently dependent on us to manage.
At the end of the project, you receive the relevant files, access and documentation needed to take ownership of what we've built.
Need us again six months later? That's fine too. We can continue improving the website or digital product when there's a genuine reason to.
Your access
You receive the relevant accounts and credentials.
Your files
You receive the appropriate design and project files.
Your website
We don't want you locked into unnecessary dependency.
Our support
When you need further design or development, we're here.
Meet Alexander Kehayov
Founder & UX/UI Designer
UX UI MATE was built around a simple idea: businesses shouldn't need to build an entire design department to get serious design work.
Alexander works directly with clients across research, UX, UI and digital design, bringing the thinking and execution together instead of passing projects through unnecessary layers of teams.
His approach is straightforward:
Understand the problem first. Challenge assumptions. Design with purpose. Build something that works in the real world.
Whether the project is a focused business website or a more complex digital product, clients work directly with the person responsible for the design.
